Two Kowloon Motor Bus drivers have been suspended from duties after a collision between two double-deckers in To Kwa Wan on Sunday night injured eight people.
The two drivers, aged 43 and 49, and six passengers were injured when the two buses crashed at the junction of To Kwa Wan Road and Chi Kiang Street at about 11pm. The injured - four men and four women - were treated at Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
A KMB spokesman said the company would mount its own investigation if the drivers were held responsible after police completed their inquiry into the cause of the accident. KMB did not know the cause at present.
Firemen and paramedics pulled a seriously hurt passenger from a smashed window. She was given oxygen and taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Less seriously hurt passengers, who had face and neck injuries, received initial treatment at the scene before being sent to hospital for further checks.
The accident happened when a route 15 bus turning from Chi Kiang Street into To Kwa Wan Road rammed into the left side of a route 115 bus. There were about 30 passengers aboard both buses.
